A little more about our program...
Our speaker is John Banks
WHAT IS THE LAW OF SECESSION AND ITS EFFECTS?
Over more than a year, John Banks crisscrossed the country exploring battlefields, historic houses, forts and more. He rode on the back of an ATV with his “psychotic connection” in Mississippi, went under the spell of an amateur hypnotist at a U.S. Army fort in Tennessee, admired a sunset from the grounds of the notorious Andersonville prison camp in Georgia, prayed during a tense boat ride in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina and briefly interviewed Louie the wild boar in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Join him on a road trip like no other.
